天灾人祸

As the world-renowned economist John · H · Dunning said:"Unless there is natural and manmade disasters, the irreversible globalization of economic activity, which is the result of technological progress, and the irreversible trend of technological progress."

正如世界著名经济学家约翰·H·邓宁所言：&除非有天灾人祸，经济活动的全球化不可逆转。这是技术进步的结果，而技术进步的趋势不可逆转[3]。&

Save, O Lord, and have mercy on the old and the young, the poor and destitute, the orphans and widows, the leper colonies, epileptics and spastics, and those in sickness and sorrow, misfortune and tribulation, captives and exiles, in mines and prisons and reformatories, and especially on those of Thy servants suffering persecution for Thy sake and for the Orthodox Faith from godless peoples, apostates and heretics.

主啊，求你拯救并怜悯老人和少年，穷人和贫乏者，孤儿和鳏寡，因患恶疾而遭隔绝的人，麻风病人，癫痫病人，瘫痪者，及所有身罹疾患痛苦的人，遭受天灾人祸者，身陷囹圄者，被充军流放者，服苦役者和受刑囚者；特别是为了正教信仰而遭受无神论者，叛道者和异端者迫害折磨的你的众仆役。

For China possess many faces, the China as a civilization of ancient history, the China of unspeakable crime and disaster, the China of lies and treacheries~{!-~}.

It was gravely said, by some of the prelates, in the Council of Trent, where the doctrine of the schoolmen bare great sway; that the schoolmen were like astronomers, which did feigh eccentrics and epicycles, and such engines of orbs, to save the phenomena; though they knew, there were no such things; and, in like manner, that the schoolmen had framed a number of subtle and intricate axioms, and theroems, to save the practice of the Church.

迷信的根源是：娱乐感官、愉悦耳目的宗教仪式；伪装的外在神圣；对教会传统习俗的敬畏感；主教们贪图名利的心计；人心的过分好善，使人因猎取新奇而上当受骗；对神圣目标的追求，也只能导致异想天开；最后，野蛮的时代，特别是与天灾人祸俱来的野蛮时代。

At General Re, the news has turned considerably better: Ron Ferguson, along with Joe Brandon, Tad Montross, and a talented supporting cast took many actions during 2000 to bring that company's profitability back to past standards.

If there's no mega-catastrophe in 2001, General Re's float cost should fall materially.

至于General RE，情况变得比以前好多了，Ron Ferguson加上Joe Brandon与Tad Montross以及一班能干的团队在2000年实行了许多做法，让公司的获利回到过去的水平，虽然我们的订价还无法完全修正过来，但对于获利情况最差的那部份业务，我们已大幅调整价格或干脆舍弃掉，如果2001年没有再发生什么重大的天灾人祸，General RE的浮存金成本可望大幅下降。
